   I find faces a little problematic actually. Since facial recognition is such a huge part of our brain, it always seems like Primitive is ignoring the face too much and spending time on extraneous details. (I've previously experimented

   Someone else mentioned this and I agreed, so I already replaced it before seeing this comment. The Lenna image did make a good demo, but so do other images.

   Good idea, I'll see what that would take to integrate with Photos.

   Honestly I didn't either until I was looking for a domain for this. :)

   This makes me happy. :)

   Should be fixed now.

   Yep, definitely doesn't work on Firefox. Thanks for the heads up.

    Honestly didn't even think of that. Might have to look into it.

    They scroll via javascript. I guess there could be hash fallbacks.

    Whoa, what a great application of this. :) My buddy tried doing something similar with his CNC machine.

    Seen that before. Cool from the evolutionary algorithm standpoint, but Primitive produces nicer looking results in mere seconds. :) But we both were inspired by the same original Mona Lisa project.

    Not currently. I'm not sure of the best way to do that without shelling out to ImageMagick or something. Edit: Go has good GIF support but doesn't really do dithering and stuff.

    Well I also went with a .lol domain, so. :)

    That's a good idea, I can consider it for a future release. :)

    About two months ago I shared my "primitive" project and it was well received: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12539109 As a result, I decided to follow through and make more of it. So today I am announcing P

    GPUs sound cool, but here's what I did with the same dataset, one using flat files and another using cassandra: https://www.michaelfogleman.com/static/yellow/ https://www.michaelfogleman.com/s

    Yeah, one AU was arbitrary.

    I was curious about your idea, so I whipped up some numbers in Python. A 1-meter thick spherical shell at 1 AU from our sun would be 0.02% of the volume of the Sun, or 260x the volume of the Earth. If you go down to 1-mm thick, you only nee

    You need ImageMagick installed on your system.

    Yes! I had that idea too but haven't gotten around to it. :(

    That's really interesting! I'm sure it'd be a bit different using circles. ;)

    Actually ellipses perform pretty well. I've analyzed this a good bit... http://i.imgur.com/82Aksg0.png (lower is better, this shows average score over 100 different input images)
